Jumping and balance exercises help burn survivors move better
NCT ID NCT07443007
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether different exercise programs could help children aged 10 to 17 who had severe burns on their legs. 84 children were split into three groups: balance training, jump-based (plyometric) training, or a mix of both. They exercised three times a week for eight weeks. The goal was to see which type of training best improved their balance, strength, and agility during long-term recovery.
